You will be Protected like Prahlada

You are powerful enough. You have such powers within you that if someone endeavors to trouble you, you will be protected like Prahlada. No one could destroy you. You are so much protected! No such thing could destroy you.

So there should be no hatred or anger towards anyone. You should have a feeling of compassion towards those who are victims of evil tendencies. Think of transforming them. If you become forgiving then it could workout.





Small child Prahlada is a big example. He challenged his father who was a demon! But Prahlada was saved and his father got killed! Death is not the main point. The person falls too low. People with evil thoughts fall in the abyss. So do not give place to the feelings of hatred and jealousy. Cleanse yourself immediately.


May God Bless You

have forgiveness in your heart

.....Shiva will be very blissful. He is extremely blissful, and what does He give you is even more beautiful than you could think of. He is a extremely forgiving. I should say He is the source of forgiveness.

If you have forgiveness in your heart, He resides in your heart otherwise gradually you start developing very difficult type of diseases.

Say, if you are forgiving, your heart runs very fast. No one can touch your heart, you cannot get heart attacks but if you are tolerating, suffering and taking many things as a power of your own doing wrong things and forgetting about God then you also start developing a very big heart.

So one side is that you develop a heart which is extremely aggressive and can become like Hitler’s heart. Under any kind of pretentions if you start torturing someone, your heart becomes solid and then you can get a tremendous massive heart attack and all the troubles come.

This is inevitable, but supposing you are extremely tolerant and you tolerate all nonsense, you are very docile, you are frightened person, if you are frightened then because of fright you do that, you can develop another kind of a heart, we call as angina, where the blood supply is less and ultimately you develop a kind of a guilt and you live a very mediocre life.

So this second thing also is very miserable among people who think they are very-very tolerant. I am saying that tolerance is alright because of spirituality, but not because you are frightened and you are afraid of something. If you are a Sahaja Yogi you have no business to be afraid of anything.

Prayer For Forgiveness

O Mother! You are Nishkalanka and all the blemishes are within me.
Therefore, I surrender all these to you and pray to cast your glance of mercy on me.




While your were watching I committed countless mistakes.
You had never interfered in my freedom. But now I request you to stop me.




Kindly hold my hand and take me with you wherever you like.
I bow to your Holy Feet again and again. Do not forsake me.




There is nobody in this world whom I can say is mine.
Without you the whole world is in desolation and forsaken state.
You are the caretaker and protector of the poor like me and you are the only support for me.




O Mother! You are the ocean of compassion.
By your grace remove all the bondages of the world.
O Mother! Without you who can fulfill our hopes of emancipation.




Within me a basket of all mistakes and wrong doings is there.
What can I offer you, I have so much hesitation.




The Serpent Kalia surrendered to Lord Shri Krishna and said:
“O Lord! I have venoms only to offer you and nothing else”.
The Lord accepted it out of love in surrender.




What have I earned in this world,
I only earned thousands of sins on my part.
Therefore, I pray O Mother! You are Mahapatak-Nashani,
So burn all my sins.




O Mother! You are Nirmala,
The treasure of motherly love and concerns.
Therefore O Mother! take away all the blemishes of all of us.




O Mother! By your arrival the world is enlightened by your Divine Love.
The dead have come to live by drinking the nectar of your Love.




O Mother! There is no benevolence like you and no poor and orphan like me.
That is why in your infinite compassion, you have given me the new life of divine love.




Mother! I do not ask from you any wealthy-possessions, nor power or positions.
In my utter humility, I pray you to bestow on me the pure devotion and dedication at your Lotus Feet.

Beej Mantras – ‘Ham and Ksham'

The aim of Jesus Christ was to open the centre of your Agnya and to achieve that purpose He got Himself crucified and then He resurrected. It appears to be a miracle but for the Divinity there is no miracle as such. He proved that human beings could rise above the centre of Agnya and on this centre He told two mantras which we call


Beej Mantras – ‘Ham and Ksham’-



‘Ksham’ means to forgive. Ksham is the biggest mantra. The ego of the person who knows how to forgive, gets destroyed. One is proud of small-small things. For example if you tell someone to sit on the earth, his ego gets hurt. If some one is told to sit in the chair, he will reply, “This chair is very small, why have you given it to me?”



Everyone has some expectation about him and if his expectations are not fulfilled, his ego immediately comes up. Unknowingly some times such things could be done but the egoistical people take it as their insult. Such people make their condition very miserable. All the time they think they are being insulted and humiliated. He is always obsessed with this thought and he draws negative meaning of whatever is told to him.



So we have to think of what Jesus Christ had thought. He said, “Forgive those who have tress passed against you”. Now see the results if you forgive everyone. You will neither suffer nor get disturbed mentally. You will not think of the person whom you have forgiven. Nothing could go against you because you forgive everyone. We get this power from the centre of Agnya.



The person whose Agnya is clear forgives everyone. If we do not forgive we torture ourselves and play in the hands of others, who assume power over us. ‘Forgiveness’ is the greatest message that Jesus Christ has given to mankind.



Second is ‘Ham’. It has altogether different meaning. Ham means ‘To Know Thyself.’ You have to know that you are the Spirit. You are not this body, mind, brain or ego. You are the Spirit. When you knows this ‘Ham’ then it will be clear to you that you are the ‘Atma’. The ‘Spirit’ means that all the ego, foolishness, ignorance that we have in our mind, are meaningless. All these negativities have absolutely no place in the Pure Spirit. You are very pure.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean suffering

Then we come to the Agnya. In Agnya what has happened is Sahaja Yogis have become such that, they can bear anything. They can suffer anything.





That’s not what we want. What we want is to remove the suffering of others, remove the aggression of others. So we don’t have that kind of organization, we don’t have. That kind of understanding, we don’t have. And if that works out you will be different people.




So we have become like saints, you see, sitting in their hermit halls, something like that, not more than that.




So better try to do something positive, without aggression. I know some of you are still very aggressive, are show-offs I know that. But if you get into the mood of working collectively, then you will realize what mistakes you have. Still, what is lacking in your personality? That is very important.




At Agnya chakra many Sahaja Yogis flatter. I don’t know what happens to them. At Agnya, I have told that you must forgive. But that doesn’t mean that you allow people to do wrong things. Because you want to forgive, its very easy not to fight, not to say anything, just keep out, just forgive, no.





You go and talk to that person and tell him it is wrong. You have to face it. If you cannot face it, then you are useless, just like any other people. What’s the use of you people getting your Realization?

Advice To Brides

So your style should be gentle, you should not shout, you should not get angry, you should not treat anybody shabbily. I will immediately know who is an unkind hostess.



People will tell me that Mother she is a funny woman, she does not how to behave. I don’t want to hear that. I want to hear that you are very sweet, nice wife who will look after the husband, who will look after the family of Sahaja Yogis. That’s your job. There is nothing to feel degraded in that.



That’s what you have to do in Sahaja Yoga. That’s why you are so important. You don’t know that the role of woman is so important, so very important that she can change the whole family into a beautiful Garden. It is her sweetness, her own creative mind of love that can work it out. Must find out the art of love and work it out on anybody who is disturbed or who is unhappy or who is crossed. You can do it. You should know how to pacify that person and how to impress.



First quality you must have is the generosity of character. You should not mind giving up anything to anyone if they want. You will enjoy your generosity now and in that you should be generous when you forgive others. Forgiveness is very important and then you will never feel the weight of your married life.



Forgive. Also you have to forgive yourself. Not to feel guilty, not to feel guilty at all about anything because after all you are also Sahaja Yogis and if you have done anything wrong, it’s alright, it doesn’t matter. But you should have the sweetness. The sweetness of a wife who will emit love and peace to others. You should not be a dominating personality or a person who is aggressive, not at all.



On the contrary you are the one who can bear lots of things and make fun out of every nonsense that you see. Nothing is so serious to fight it but to make a fun out of all that and make a fun for every one. That’s what you have to be, always smiling and happy.



You will be amazed, you can make beautiful marriages for yourself; for your husband and for all Sahaja Yogis. I am also very sure, if you will make a successful marriage, you will have very very good children who will be born realized. So you should be good mothers, mothers who can really do good to their children and to other children also.




All that is stored for you in future. I know you all will be enjoying very much your future life and make it so beautiful that everybody should talk, that ‘look at these Sahaja Yoginis?’ How great they are. Their lives are happy.



It is very very important that we should pay attention to our own mistakes than to the mistakes of others and try to correct them. See, they are themselves capable of looking after themselves. Only you should care for them and also you should in every way be very kind and gentle.


I am sure you all can make very good families which now a days are not available. You don’t see people who are happy in the family. So no complaints about the husband, no complaints about anybody to the husband but you make yourself so sweet that everybody wants to take your love, your guidance and they will come to you.


I am sure that you can work it out. There are so many Sahaja Yoginis who brought such credit to me and have done such good work. I accept the same from you.


May God Bless You

Buddha and the villager - a story about fogiveness

TO BE A MOTHER AND TO BE A GURU IS THE MOST DIFFICULT THING.

“….I do not know what comes first, but, of course, every mother wants her child to be good and the Holy Mother wants Her child to be a holy person. The first thing is the holiness.



Now for that, how can you compel someone? Only thing that makes you understand is this — that if you don’t become holy, how will you get your ascent? We have to be holy. What discipline one can put for making a person holy? What can you force? What can you get angry for? Only method I use normally is to forgive. Maybe the forgiveness is the highest quality, I think, for teaching people. When they know that they have done wrong and they confess it, then you have to forgive.



Like in the life of Buddha, there was a man who was abusing Him without understanding and when he finished with his abuses and Buddha had left, people told him, “Do you know whom you were abusing? It was Lord Buddha.” Got a fright of his life.


He said, “Where is He gone?”


“He has gone to the another village.”

So went to another village and he said, “Sir, I am sorry what I said. Please forgive me. It’s all wrong and I should not have done it. You can punish me the way you like.”


Lord Buddha said, “When did you do that?”

He said, “Yesterday.”


He said, “I don’t know yesterday. I know only today.”


You see, when you tell these things, how great one feels, isn’t it? So your greatness, your nobility will definitely influence people. It's not by fighting, by quarrelling, by saying harsh things it is going to work out.


( H.H.Shri Mataji, Shri Guru Puja, Italy, 04.07.1993)

Forgiveness

He spoke about you people. He asked for forgiveness for all. What we have to learn from His life is the way He knew how to forgive - all of us.

We have to forgive people. That seems to be very difficult for people to forgive and if you are angry, then one cannot forgive. Then you are not anymore a Sahaja Yogi; as Sahaja Yogis you must forgive. That is very important; because that is the power you have won - from Christ.

Human beings make mistakes, that is a part of their life, but at the same time as Sahaja Yogis you must realize that you have to forgive, that this is much more important than getting angry. So to forgive people you have done something wrong, according to you or according to God, you have to forgive. And you will be surprised that the forgiveness is such a great and fine quality. If you can forgive, people will become extremely pure.

Because the dirt or the anger that is within us… no doubt.

So to forgive is the biggest blessing human beings have. Even Christ said the same thing. “I forgive them because they don’t know what they are doing.” So if Christ had to say that then what about you? We are all human beings and if we have done mistakes, then people can get angry and upset with you, but the best thing for you is - to forgive.

Forgive for doing something that should have not been done. This was the biggest quality of Christ that He knew how to forgive. He forgave people how had made horrible mistakes and He forgave them, because He loved them. And that is why you should also forgive.

Shri Mataji about Forgiveness + facing wrongs

"At Agnya, I have told that you must forgive. But that doesn't mean that you allow people to do wrong things. Because you want to forgive it's very easy, not to fight not to say anything, just keep out just forgive, no! You go and talk to that person and tell him it is wrong. You have to face it."




(H.H. Mataji Nirmala Devi -- Adi Shakti Puja 2002, Cabella, Italy)

Shiva forgives us always…BUT there is a reaction.

Rudra is the destructive power of Shiva, of the spirit. Now one power which is His nature, is forgiveness. He forgives because we are human beings, we commit mistakes, we do wrong things, and we get tempted; our attention is disturbed; so he forgives us. He also forgives us when we spoil our chastity, we do immoral things, we do thieving, and we do things that are against God, talk against him. He also forgives our superficialities, jealousies, our lust, and our anger. Also he forgives our attachments, pretty jealousies, vanities and also possessiveness. He forgives our egoistical behavior and also our subordination to wrong things.

But every action has a reaction, and when He forgives, He thinks that he has given you a big grace mark, and that reaction builds up within Him, as a wrath against those who are forgiven and try to do greater mistakes.

Especially after realization, because such a big blessing there, is of the realization; you have got the light and in the light if you are holding onto your plate then his wrath goes up because, he sees how stupid you have been. What I am saying is that after a realization specially, He much more sensitive that people who are forgiven and have been given such a big thing like self realization, still they do wrong things then he is much more wrathful. So, in the balance the forgiveness start reducing and the wrathfulness starts increasing.He protects realized souls at every point, in every way. Negative forces try to attack Sahaja Yogi but they are all neutralized by His tremendous power of protection. Through his vibratory awareness we are guided into right path. All the beautiful blessings of His are described in the psalm 23 … " The lord is my shepherd" Is all described how he looks after you as a shepherd.
